Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has been discussing the injury recoveries of Harry Winks and Danny Rose and it was mixed news for the two players.

Both Spurs stars have had injury hit campaigns. Winks struggled with an ankle problem at the end of last season which spilled into the new campaign and then aggravated the injury just when he was finding his best form after returning.

The 22-year-old England international has been in Qatar in recent weeks getting specialist treatment on the injury.

Rose had a long-term knee problem which he suffered a setback with midway through the season after returning. The 27-year-old left-back then came back again, but suffered a calf problem which has sidelined him in recent weeks.

Pochettino gave an update on both players ahead of Monday night's match against Watford at Wembley.

"Harry Winks is out. Danny Rose is going to join the team tomorrow (Saturday), starting to train with the group tomorrow (Saturday). We'll see in the next few days," he said.

There has been some suggestion that Winks might play again this season, which could reignite his World Cup dream, but Pochettino appeared to play down the chances of the young midfielder playing for Spurs in the final four Premier League matches, even turning to his assistant Jesus Perez for clarification.

"I don’t know. Jesus, do you know? I promise you. It is difficult because we are assessing him and sure it will be not easy for him to play again this season," he said.
